Southern Wesleyan University president: ‘We’re not hiring people who endorse critical race theory’

For more than 20 years, Nathan Street has worked in education.

Fifteen of those years, Street served as a school district administrator in North Carolina, but lost his job in 2021 after his employers discovered many of Street’s written works on the indoctrination of children in the education system, including his book: “On the Frontlines: Exposing Satan’s Tactics to Destroy a Generation.”

In an interview with The College Fix, Street said he struggled to find a new job amid headlines in local newspapers alleging he misused grant money and other claims. But despite his tarnished reputation, Southern Wesleyan University hired Street as an assistant professor of graduate education.

That’s because as Southern Wesleyan University President Bill Barker enters his eighth month at the helm of the private, four-year institution, he said he has made it a priority to educate critically on critical race theory, and wanted someone like Street fighting alongside him.

“I made it very clear where SWU stands on critical race theory, and we made it very clear in our hiring processes,” Barker (pictured) said in a Zoom interview with The College Fix. “Personnel is policy.”

“We’re not hiring people – and I’ve been clear since I came here and the Board of Trustees has supported this – who endorse critical race theory. We will have the courage to let faculty or staff go if they are teaching critical race theory.”

Barker took the helm of the South Carolina-based campus in July 2022.

In addition to earning a master of divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in 2003 and a doctor of philosophy in Middle Eastern Languages and Civilizations from Cambridge University in England in 2007, he also served as a chaplain with the United States Air Force Reserve, according to a news release announcing his tenure.

I hope they make it a condition of keeping a job to not teach it.

Critical Race Theory SHOULD be studied, just like Karl Marx, Fredrich Engels, Herbert Marcuse, Mao, and Stalin. Learning about these folks is the perfect way to see their follies and, in some cases, their intentional evilness.

A week of work on Che Guevara and Adam Schiff and their lying reigns of terror could pay dividends, too.

Just don’t waste more than a semester on these clowns.

Than it is better to send your kid there than to Yale.
